    Christy's of London

    They do offer a beaver felt hat in their current line-up for €655, so quite a bit less than $900. I was not impressed by the quality of the hats I've seen from them. I suspect $900 can buy you an excellent custom.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    This is an easy one: this hat was made in 1982. The labels with the hyphen between the numbers upper right were in use from 1976 and 1983. The first two numbers before the hyphen are the year of production.

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    There was an auction for a NOS box of those crease clips in the UK. I bought that box. Haven't seen any since.

    I agree with all of you!:D No extra light to be shed I'm afraid, at least not by me. Haven't handled one. The ones I've seen on auction sites look indeed to be American made judging by size label and liner style. Very cool hat and equally cool find.
